It doesn’t matter how you pray.  Use your daily devotional, read a scripture each day or just have a little talk with Jesus.  Pray about all … More Think Big!

Autism parents have the difficult task of finding the right toy for their child. I struggled with buying gifts for Sydney when she was younger. I was caught up on age appropriate toys but lost sight of what she wanted. Many of her toys were still in boxes and I would re-gift them to her when … More Autism Gift Ideas

Am I the only one that panics when it comes to the annual holiday photo card?  Growing up I loved when my parents shared the Christmas cards with us.  My mom would display them on the mantle and all around the house. Imagine my excitement when I was able to send out my own set … More Christmas Card Saga

I know the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of Jesus.  It is also a time to spend with family and to show others how much you love them.  Whether you exchange gifts or not. It is all about coming together during this time of year. Christmas brings the blues for some people.  Christmas … More Do You Have The Christmas Blues?

I admit I caught the Elf of the Shelf fever when we lived in Michigan.  Our elf is Wilbur.    The story is cute and the kids enjoyed listening to it.  The first few day with Wilbur were fun. He toilet papered the tree, made a snow angel in flour, built lego towers, and  hung in … More Sorry Kids, The Elf Is Dead

I couldn’t help but observe parents fighting, kids screaming and the faces of stress everywhere at the happiest place on earth. So I figured, I’ve got this I feel right at home at Disney. The New F word.  Don’t say Feliz Navidad around Sydney.  She loves the song. She overheard it while we were in one … More The New F Word

When we moved to Delaware Sydney told Ms. Bridge and Ms. Ross that she had been to Disney World.  Maybe in her dreams but not for real.  I remember them saying we have to go to Disney together.  I think the expressions of the kids is what gave us the best gift ever.  I couldn’t … More Yes, These Two Ladies Are With Me!

  This past week my family and I had a dream of a lifetime vacation.  We did something that I never thought that we would be able to do.  When we came home to Delaware we were still on a magical high.  After being home for two days I had two major life events happen … More Soulful Sunday # 7

You know that the kids and I don’t attend many activities after 6:00 pm.  On vacation we were on the go from 9:00 am until the late evening.  On our first night at Magic Kingdom, the park closed at 7:00 pm and we had tickets to stay for the Christmas parade. It seemed like the crowd at … More Christmas Elves

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!  Sydney wanted the salon experience and I think deep down she wanted a princess gown too.  I was praying they didn’t have her size, because momma wasn’t paying $200 for the deluxe package.  While we were at Magic Kingdom she noticed girls wearing a sash and pink and purple hair clips.  So we went with … More Fairy Godmother, Where Are You?
